Rugby Round 1 Is On - Good Luck, Minty......however?

[DTCwordfan]

well here we go first match..... Les Grenouilles versus l'Azzuri

opening this up for ongoing comments......

[MargoTester]

Just a passing comment - why do they find it necessary to do the pre-amble on the side of the pitch so that when the tannoy is going full blast you cannot here a wide they say?

[DTCwordfan]

no idea, Margo.... they want to feel part of the match perhaps, dreams of past days?

First try on the board......open start for both teams.

[DTCwordfan]

foot was in touch though, the Italians will be annoyed about that.....

[DTCwordfan]

Brilliant Italian forwards try......

[wolf63]

Are we playing today? I went to Murrayfield one - to see the Eagles.

[Marjoprydore]

Pity Italians didn't convert.

[Marjoprydore]

We play at 4.30pm. at Murrayfireld

[melv16]

Parisee, what a player. I wish England had him.

[Marjoprydore]

Why are football players such wimps compared with rugby players??? Damn French just scored.

[melv16]

The French try probably saved parisee from having a yellow card for deliberate knock on

[DTCwordfan]

Entertaining if a little loose.

[MargoTester]

As long as it's not louche DTC :-)

[DTCwordfan]

true......Italy in front.....the more it goes on, come on you Azzuri....

[Togo]

Hard luck there for Italy. They looked the better 'team' for most of the game. But this is different. Am home to watch and COME ON ENGLAND!

[melv16]

I think England will stick 20pts on the wooden spooners:-)

[DTCwordfan]

I agree Togo.....

[Togo]

Well melv I've done Watson or Joseph first try and England 6-10 points and 11-15 points

[DTCwordfan]

I've got England 6 to 10 and Wales on the same margin - 9/2 and 13/2 respectively.

[waterboatman]

I'm with you minty, ;-)

[waterboatman]

The best I've seen Italy play for a long time.
